ANOTHER one I didn't buy for some ridiculous reason!  It is a beauty in these rather uncommon colors.

Have it, love it. Jack, I think we all see models we didn't buy at the time for one reason or another and then have regrets later on.

One I missed and have kicked myself many times for not adding it.  I remember at the time it came out, I had 6 or 7 models on order and my thinking at the time was, "I don't need another Crown Victoria".  And that was true at the time, as I already had FIVE different re-paints on my shelf.  So I passed.  GREAT PHOTOS JOHN!  Again, it's so good to see you posting when you can.  Hope you're continuing to get well.

I missed this one as well, and I don't even remember it being offered.  This was a nice surprise.  Thanks for sharing John.

It’s always interesting to me to compare a model with the actual car. In the case of this Danbury Mint Crown Vic in Buckskin Tan/Snowshoe White the model is so authentic as to make it virtually impossible to tell it from the actual car. What a treasure that model is, John. Thanks for posting those great pictures.  Beautiful car replicated beautifully in 1:24.

One of DM's early efforts but has held up VERY WELL; it still looks fantastic form any angle.
